Player Updates

Klay Thompson (GS-G)

Head coach Steve Kerr said he expects Thompson (knee) to play in Game 5 against the Rockets on Thursday, Mark Medina of the Mercury News reports.

Thompson suffered a minor knee strain in Game 4 on Tuesday, but indicated shortly after the contest that he wasn't going to miss time. That optimism was echoed by coach Kerr following Thursday's morning shootaround, so if all goes as expected during pregame warmups, look for Thompson to take the court as usual. -- Rotowire.com

Mitch Haniger (Sea-OF)

Haniger (wrist) is starting in right field and hitting third against the Athletics on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

As expected, Haniger is good to go for the series finale after missing Wednesday's game with a bruised wrist. The 27-year-old is hitting a solid .296/.381/.568 with 11 homers through 47 games and will look to keep things rolling as he faces righty Josh Lucas in his return to action. -- Rotowire.com

Mark Trumbo (Bal-OF)

Trumbo (knee) is scheduled for a precautionary MRI on Thursday, Steve Melewski of MASNsports.com reports.

Trumbo was absent from Wednesday's lineup due to a knee issue, and he's set to undergo an MRI to make sure there isn't any extensive damage. He'll be considered day-to-day until the results of the test come back. Pedro Alvarez will take over as the designated hitter for Thursday's matchup against the White Sox. -- Rotowire.com

Rob Gronkowski (NE-TE)

Gronkowski and the Patriots have reportedly made progress toward a new contract, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Be it in the form of a raise, or an extension, it looks like Gronkowski will be playing this coming season under new contract terms. Either way, he's slated to be present for the Patriots' mandatory minicamp (June 5-7), as is starting QB Tom Brady. -- Rotowire.com
